How to play Sort Things
There is very little to learn before your first run. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Select and drag pieces |
| Left click | Confirm a move |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
